Solr Search Integration

Get blazing fast faceted search results with the Solr open source enterprise search platform

Get Started

Problem

For many ecommerce retailers, getting customers to come to their site is half of the battle of marketing. However, no amount of advertising and sponsored clicks will help if your customers cannot find what they are looking for on your website. This is why using an intelligent and robust search tool is so important.

Homegrown or generic search tools often lack the speed, flexibility, accuracy and positive user experience that ecommerce stores require. Ecommerce retailers need search tools that will improve the user experience, increase conversion, and offer marketing tools to constantly refine searches to target changing trends and search habits of their clientele.

Solution

Get better results in half the time with Solr. Solr is a powerful and highly adaptable search tool, designed to produce more accurate search results and increase sales for your online store. Created by the makers of Apache, Solr brings the power of the Lucene Search Library right to your fingertips. Solr uses a faceted search system to allow for more nuanced searching options and includes features such as full-text search, hit highlighting, dynamic clustering, database integration, rich document handling and geospatial search. When integrated with the Upshot Commerce Core Platform, Solr provides a host of search customizations that are unmatched in the industry.

Solr's open source functionality allows it to be tailored to almost any type of application without Java coding, and it has an extensive plugin architecture for more advanced customizations. This means that Upshot Commerce can easily configure Solr to the search needs of just about any website, regardless of their formatting requirements.
